ZTE Corporation, a global solution provider in telecommunication technology and mobile internet technology for corporate and consumer customers, join hands with AIS , a major Thai mobile network and digital technology provider. On the occasion of working together for more than 15 years by holding a forum to share experiences on 5G technology and a smart factory management service platform for sustainable industrial estate development
Mr . Zhang Jianpeng , Senior Vice President Global Marketing, ZTE Corporation said, “According to the report of According to the GSMA (GSMA ), by 2025, 5G technology will account for up to 14% of the total connected communications market. meanwhile The data also indicates that the share of connections in Thailand will rise to as high as 23%, above the average share in the Asia-Pacific region. This is in line with the Thai government's 20-year development plan for the country's digital economy and society. will surely achieve the goal of growth as planned.
For the development of 5G technology in China, it can be seen that the manufacturing industry are in the midst of a rapid transition to digital In just a few years, ZTE has developed and introduced new innovations and applied in 15 industries in China, such as electronics manufacturing, metal mining industry, power grid industry, transportation industry, industrial port including the new media industry And other industries. The development of 5 G technology to meet the work of the industry found that various industries often encounter problems in operation, namely:
1. Demand for the use of 5G technology by each industry There are vastly different needs.
2. Return on investment (ROI ) in the beginning was low and found that in some cases there was a high cost. But the results in productivity are not clear.
3. Collaboration between different industries is difficult. by digital transformation of upstream and downstream organizations There are different levels of development.
Based on these problems, ZTE has realized and devised ways to promote digital transformation in various industries by converging 5G infrastructure and providing more suitable module components. It also focuses on the conditions of each industry. In order to develop the highest quality work The most common example of 5G application in factories is the use of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC ) in conjunction with machine vision to monitor production quality and equipment operating status. various replace human operations which requires higher wages and errors The use of machine vision results in an 80% reduction in defect leakage rates compared to human inspections. The accuracy of the automatic identification and labeling system has been increased to 97%, which has resulted in savings of 50% in QC personnel wages and increased production yield rate. Xinfengming Group reduced the defect rate by 60%.
ZTE 's use of Industrial Automated Mobility Vehicles (AGVs ) in conjunction with 5G eliminates the traditional barriers to wifi usage. These AGVs can be deployed in different industrial environments. such as in complex lighting conditions This reduces the deployment cost of the AGV by 80% (deployment costs) compared to using traditional navigation systems such as QR codes or magnetic stripes. AGV scheduling and scheduling through the cloud platform resulted in a 20% increase in logistics efficiency while the cost per AGV was reduced by 10%.
Using 5G, along with HD video and Augmented Reality (AR), enables frontline personnel to perform their duties. with immediate support from teams that are not on site It also opens the door to new experiences in design, manufacturing, training, maintenance and inspection. It was found that the application of remote technology reduced the need for specialist resources by more than 30%, reducing the difficulty of coordination between locations. One 5G (5G unmanned patrol robot) can replace 3-4 people in security human resources. The robot can transmit 360-degree images in all directions. in 4K clarity and avoiding various obstacles by itself
ZTE has tested a cloud-based PLC (Cloud Programmable Logic Control) for industrial plant control systems. It has been found to improve PLC performance and reduce control latency as low as 10 ms. The plant control system was deployed at ZTE 's smart factory located in Nanjing, Nanjing. The implementation of intelligent innovations in the Binjiang Smart Factory makes the production labor demand 25% lower than other factories.
In addition, the Yunnan Shenhuo 5G Smart Factory in Yunnan, formed under a cooperation between ZTE and aluminum giant Yunnan Shenhuo , has a 5G Campus Private Network and MEC in control. Various operations using machine vision instead of traditional temperature sensors For the steel condition at 1400°C, the existing sensor device can withstand extreme temperatures for only one week before its expiration date. and required. Together with AIS, ZTE provided its original Node Engine Solution in Yawata factory in Koral Thailand, where it would offer local offloading and edge computing capability on site-level, it is suitable for Yawata factory's less than 10ms latency and local data processing requirement.
